Ayuko (Resanaki NPC)

Ayuko, also known as Wisteria, was a member of the Hanataba squad who acted as an antagonist in the Resanaki campaign. Before she fully turned to crime, she was a close childhood friend of the player character Sakura Tabe. Lastly, under the name Wisteria, Ayuko was also the owner of the illegal gambling bar and casino Sucky Saki in the town of Tomari, from where she committed a string of murders using poisonings.

Ayuko was the focus of the campaign's third chapter, and presented a strong conflict of interest among the protagonists. While Sansei's pupils wished her dead on their quest to avenge their Sensei Sansei, Sakura Tabe wished to bring her back to their hometown of Nishihara to face justice.

In the end, during the Battle of Sucky Saki, Ayuko was struck down by a crossbow bolt from Katchi and finished off by Touma Ayanami. Sakura Tabe left Sansei's pupils shortly thereafter to bring home her remains.
